EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tizoc sacrificial stone (Cuauhxicalli) from the Palace of the Eagle-Warriors in Templo Mayor, Tenochtitlan. Created during the 16th century by Carlos Nevel, this drawing beautifully captures the essence of Aztec civilization and their deep connection to astronomy. The intricate design depicts the movement of stars, highlighting the Aztecs' profound understanding of celestial bodies. The stone's geometrical patterns and circular shapes symbolize their spiritual beliefs and South American tribal culture. Against a pristine white background, this ancient artifact takes center stage as a testament to history and religion. The illustration technique employed by Carlos Nevel in 1838 adds depth and dimension to this remarkable piece of art. With no people present in the image, it allows viewers to focus solely on this single object that holds immense cultural significance. As we gaze upon this square image, we are transported back in time to witness an integral part of Aztec life - sacrifice. Templo Mayor stands tall behind it, serving as a reminder of Tenochtitlan's grandeur and power. This print is not just an illustration or painting; it is a window into our past that invites us to explore and appreciate one of Mexico's most fascinating civilizations -the Aztecs
